Heh yeah, I guess he's people too like everyone else. Most of the atheletes I write are at least millionaires, so it's pretty great for all of them to reply. I included $3 for return postage to Mr Tiriac but he covered the shipping cost for me and returned my $3, most of the millionaires keep the $3
I have a pretty large collections of tennis signed tennis ball...probably over 200. I have been collecting since 1999. For the last year I've started collecting TTM. It's actually been a success so far. Your collection is quite impressive. Tennis cards are such niece pieces. I was wondering if you could help me out, I am looking for addresses on some of the following players, perhaps you can help me out. Alex Olmedo John "Budge" Patty Darlene Hard Maria Bueno Ken Rosewall
Thanks for the reply... Sure, I'll put a few during the next few days. If you don't mind me asking, how does it work getting an autograph through the tennis HOF? I live in Canada.
Here are some of the older names that are part of my collection: Margaret Court Doris Hart Tony Trabert John Newcombe Rod Laver Owen Davidson Fred Stolle Mark Woodforde Roy Emerson Charlie Pasarell Shirley Fry Irivn Boris Becker Andre Agassi Pete Sampras Arantxa Sánchez Vicario Steffi Graf Björn Borg Ivan Lendl Iva Majoli Jimmy Connors John McEnroe Guga Martina Navratilova Mats Wilander Mary Pierce Jim Courrier and I probably have most top the players from the last 15 years....
Thanks for the reply...sorry for the extra question but do you include extra postage/$ for HOF to send to the player AND player to send back to you?
With regards to Sampras, Vicario and Pierce, I got their autographs in-person. I'm afraid I don't have their address.
That said, I want on the fanmail.biz site and the have the following address for Vicario: Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario Sabino de Arana 28/6-1A E-08028 Barcelona Espagne
Pete Sampras, you can try sending to his Pure Sports Management company....
Nice collection. Do you have a 1930 Coletta Fred Perry. I just bought one that was sold as 1932 but it was number 16 which is the same number as the 1930 one.. Wasn't sure if was an error in the listing or not so took a chance it's s tough card to find
Very impressive. I have the 1966 Arther Ashe at PSA now. They said they would grade it so hopefully it comes back slabbed. It's always interesting with these sports because you never know when a new set will pop up.
These are the tennis cards I have in my collection. Im looking for a nabisco Connors and have the Ashe. I think the others are rookies.. but let me know if wrong. Thanks for the info on tennis cards.

<< <i>His first and only as a tennis player is from his 1931 sweedish forsbergs card. >>
Actually, there is a 1930 Cloetta "Ross" and a 1930 Forsbergs.
There are two 1930 Cloetta sets w/ sports stars, one with "Ross" and a more glossy look, and one w/o "Ross" on front and a matte sepia look to them. The checklists are quite different from each other.
There are two different Forsbergs sets that I think you're confusing. There is a 1930 Forsbergs - International Athletes set and a 1931-32 Forsbergs - International Athletes set. The 1930 cards look a bit more like the 1930 Rose Marie set, while the 1931-32 cards look more like the 1930 Cloetta cards. Mr. G is in the 1930 Forsbergs set, not the 1931-32 set. The checklists are quite different here too.
